And the Pussification of America Continues….Parents Trying To Ban Ice Cream Trucks
(Do not sleep on Froze Toes)
Yahoo – The dog days of summer are not far away. The unmistakable music of the ice cream truck takes us back to one of our favorite pastimes as children during those hot July days–chasing after the ice cream man to get our favorite cool-down treat. Some kids may not be able to experience this time-honored tradition, because a group of parents in a neighborhood in Brooklyn wants to ban the ice cream man from their park. The controversy spread on the popular blog “Park Slope Parents” when moms and dads complained about having to fight with their kids over ice cream every summer. One mother wrote, “I should not have to fight with my children every warm day on the playground just so someone can make a living.” Another parent added that her reason for not wanting her kids to consume the frozen treats had to do with healthy lifestyle choices, saying, “One in three kids is going to be obese or diabetic by high school.”
Ban the ice cream man? What type of nazi shit is that? You can’t ban the ice cream man. Shit is as American as Apple Pie. Every fucking day in the summer it was the same thing. Taking motherfuckers deep in Wiffle Ball, and 38 screwballs. Occasionally I’ll get that pink foot thing just to get wild. But it was screwballs day in and day out. If you’re going to take away the ice cream man you might as well just move to Zimbabwe or some shit like that where they don’t even have air.
Here is the Definitive Ice Cream Truck Power Rankings
1. Screwball
2. Snowcone
3. Chocolate Éclair
4. Froze Toes
5. Bomb Pop
6. Chipwhich (Would be hight but it’s a 3 dollar item. Had to be rolling deep to afford it)
7. Strawberry Shortcake
8. Drumstick (Feitleberg like Drumsticks because they are soft like him)
This list is invalid with the omission of the Choco-Taco
“Park Slope Parents?”. Was this, perhaps, an Asian neighborhood?
Pres, how pissed off did your ice cream man get at you for always paying in Pennies?
Choco-taco gets no respect Pres? Fuck outta here
“you might as well just move to fuck Zimbabwe or some shit like that where they don’t even have air”
That was some funny shit
9. Having the ice cream man take off his pants and give me a 2 minute hug.
I agree about the choco-taco. Its wicked nizza.
What kind of asshole forgets the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with the gumball eyes? Shit was fucking fire. Then again I forget that you were born in the early 70s.
Strawberry motherfucking shortcake over Choco-Taco? FUCK IS YOU?
The perfect hangover post. Who’s not going to comment on being a kid, the ice cream man, and their favorites? Pres can ride this one until 11 o’clock. #presplayingchess.
Chipwich all day every fucking day. Chocolate Eclair and Strawberry Shortcake are gross.
All kidding aside Snowcones suck. Rock hard exterior, little to no flavor.
YES….screwballs were my favorite as well…..and i would put chocolate eclair #2. i dont think my ice cream man had choco tacos…im sure i would have gotten them…
Snowcones were 50/50, some duds had no juice in the bottom, might as well be eating an icicle… Honorable mention to the Italian Ice you had to flip over to truly enjoy.
dudebro – maybe in Haiti they were gross. But in the USA they were top notch.
so parents are blaming their kids horible dietary habits, and inability to control them without fighting, on the ice cream man? parents fostered little johnny’s shitty attitude and fat ass. dont take it out on the rest of the town
Choco Taco on the brain like you read about right now….is 10am too early to take a walk to 7-11? Great call by MassHole on the Italian ice flip…Snowcone at 2 is retarded
The xmen/wwf bars with the guys printed on the cookie were by far the best thing you could get from the truck
chocolate malt. Simple but easily best thing on the rig. Chaco taco solid second
Choco-Taco and Push-Pop! What the fuck is wrong with you?
Two ball screwball, nailed it. Best choice out there. However @Stro had it right. You can’t forget the teenage mutant ninja turtles. Also, Sonic the Hedgehog, or Bomb Pops??
Am I the only bro that used to buy the candy ciggarettes and feel like a boss?…
Good god, read this, honestly, these might be the worst people in the planet.

fucking loser hipster parents cant control their own kids so they fuck with someone else’s livelihood. if you dont want your kid to be obese and eat ice cream than dont fucking buy them any. you want quickie marts to stop selling butts too so your kids wont pick up smoking when they are 18 or how about shutting down liquor stores so they dont become alcoholics? pathetic parenting, i weep for our future…..
Chaco taco for days fuck you press
bomb pops push pops rocket pops(the red white and blue things) and of course any cartoon with a gummy eyeball
“One in three kids is going to be obese or diabetic by high school.”

And more are by the time they’re 34 y/o online smut peddlers.
Yeah Choco-Taco is the shit man. I only clicked comments because you left the king of ice cream off the list. I am seriously questioning your judgement now.
how is a Calipo not on there…the perfect hot afternoon treat..
Have none of you fags ever had Cotton Candy ice cream? You can’t get that shit anywhere else on the planet EXCEPT for when that fat, sweaty, lazy mexican comes driving around my neighborhood at 4:47 pm. I realize you’re sentimental about snowcones because you loved getting fondled in the bathroom at Disney on Ice but they’re garbage
@bawstonkid bro I think candy cigarettes is at least 90% responsible for my smoking butts today.
I remember when I was a little kid and my parents just fucking told me no if they didnt want to buy me ice cream.
List Blows. Big Omissions: WWF ICE CREAM BARS, TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES with GUMBALLS
Wait until you have kids and then let us know how you feel about the Ice Cream Man pulling up at 11:30am or 5:30pm. You’ll be ready want him hanged, drawn and quartered.
Rex Ryan loves the Froze Toes! Although it makes his junk all sticky.
Two ball screwball more bang for your buck
When I was probably 14 or 15 and too cool for the ice cream truck I used to yell “Ice Cream!” out the window when it would drive down the street. Watching him slam the brakes in hopes of making a sale, and then seeing nobody around was always hilarious to me.
By the way, WWF Wrestling Bars were awesome. Ultimate Warrior all day.
gotta throw in Ninja Turtle bar and the Bozo Cup.
No firecracker on the list get the fuck out of here
Definately missing the WWF pops. Shit was legit
Hey bigblue, you could just be a parent and say “no”.
@big_blue So your solution is to put the guy out of business? This is America. Any other small business owners that cause you an inconveniences that you’d like to see shutdown? Tell your kid “no” and deal with it. If he or she kicks and screams and yells for hours on end as a result than you only have yourself to blame.
wolfpack knows where its at. WWF ice creams with the cookie layer that had the wrestler’s imprint, plus a card of the dude in the box. Stuff was legendary
Dora/Spongebob bars are the new wwf/ninja turtles. Beasts hit the spot every time. Choco-Taco’s the Gretzky/Jordan/Eli of Ice Cream Truck options.
WWE bars, Choco tacos, toasted almonds were my shit
Bugs bunny for the fucking win, also choco taco has to make that list fuck snowcones
Chao taco and www bar are definitely top 5. Also why no love for nestley crunch
cantgetthestinkout: I did not say put him out of biz. Parents understand the sentiment. Drivers intentionally show up right before mealtimes (my brother in law used to drive a truck). I am simply looking forward the EP blog about ice cream truck drivers when he has a 2 yr old. Maybe he can also figure out why the trucks never have napkins.
“American as apple pie”? cut the platitudes pres, try coming up with some more original.
@big_blue I’d like to withdraw my last statement.
Unbelievable. This type of parenting is the same reason everyone gets a trophy and corporal punishment is no longer allowed. Some people just shouldn’t procreate. Tell your fucking kid no, or buy him something and tell him he can only eat it after dinner. Be the authority figure. If he throws a tantrum, spank his ass and remind him of the fact that he has zero control. Fuck!
Who the hell buys a chocolate eclair on a hot day?
Snowcones suck. It’s like biting into solid ice most of the time. Haven’t had a good snowcone since probably 1994. Now Hawaiian Shave Ice, though, is fucking amazing. Ninja turtle pops, malt cups and Italian ice are awesome.
Agree with all above, no Choco-Taco renders this list useless. Also what about those Good Humor Bar (I think it was Good Humor) with the chocolate candy bar center? Bomb Pop ahead of of Chipwich AND Drumsticks, fuck u smokin Pres you dirty Heeb?
I get the love for Choco tacos but c’mon, why waste money on those at the ice cream truck when they were easily obtainable at the grocery store? Screwballs and strawberry shortcake were my shit. Anyone think it’s funny that like 60% of the ice cream bars came with gum balls embedded in them?
1. It’s been said but you’re outside your mind if you don’t think that Choco-Taco and the Ninja Turtle with the bubblegum eyes don’t belong on this list. Granted, Choco-taco was for the yuppies, I think I had enough quarters for it like 3 times.
2. Perfect example of who shouldn’t have kids – “I don’t want to deal with my kid being a fucking brat, so let’s destroy someone’s business instead.”
Excellent call by Masshole on the italian ice.
what about those ice cream bars that had those wwf wrestlers on them like ultimate warrior and shit…those were good tasting and good presentation
no choco taco? are you fucking drunk pres? shit list.
where the fuck is the chaco taco, are you fucking serious?
You fucking asshole! You left choco taco off the list because your a fucking racist!
~tkobarstool~
teenage mutant turles bar was dope
yoo prez i know you didnt forget about the motherfucking wrestling bars….with undertaker on it, kane, sean micheals, triple H….are you kidding thats those 4 should be on your top ten itself, who you kidding?!
